Spanish River High School students given special opportunity

It's one of the toughest tickets to get: a seat at the third presidential debate at Lynn University. But three local high school students have learned they're not just going to the debate, they'll be covering it for C-SPAN.

Darwiche will join her classmates Ilana Weisman and Ross Toback at the debate. All three are seniors at Spanish River High School in Boca Raton and all three have an interest in journalism. They had no idea this opportunity was coming.

The three students will attend the debate, talk to anyone they can and then tweet their observations. In essence, they will serve as the eyes and ears in the world of social media for C-SPAN. They expect to be a little overwhelmed and a little star struck but they also expect to do the job well and to appreciate what they've been offered here.

"I feel like in perspective, looking back at this it will be such an amazing opportunity," said Toback. "It will give us real world experience right now in one of the most important platforms."
